542877 ÷ 50 
We want to divide 542877 by 50.

On to step 1:
5 divided by 50 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 50

On to step 2:
50 goes into 54 1 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 50 from 54 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 50

Advancing to step 3:
The number 50 fits into 42 0 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 42 to get 42.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 428 / 50

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 428 by 50, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 108.0
Subtracting 400 from 428 leaves us with 28.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 287 / 50

On to step 5:
50 goes into 287 5 times with a remainder of 37.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1085.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 250 from 287.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 377 / 50

Moving on to step 6:
50 goes into 377 7 times with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10857.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 350 from 377.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
50 can be fit into 270 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10857.5
If we subtract 250 from 270, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
200 divided by 50 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 10857.54
Subtracting 200 from 200 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 50 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10857.54
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 50 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10857.54
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 10857.54 with a remaining 0.0.
